This particular piece is a rather pretty windowed fragment displaying abundant chondrules (some armoured), and is primarily composed of the darker, more highly shocked ligthology of this meteorite. Most of the external sides appear to be fresh breaks, but the bottom has a small amount of sand stuck to it, suggesting that it may be an original external surface. The cut face of the stone took a great polish, and exhibits a definite greenish hue.

Aesthetic proportions, and it's a hefty chunk. A great hand-sample of a non-NWA chondrite.

It's not too common a meteorite and is from a pretty unusual locale - I've seen prices on websites ranging from $3 to $5 per gram, so this is a little less.
